Finale

The semester is coming down to an end and I'm jumping with joy. After writing several pages of observations and interviews I have finally put togther my ethnography of the gym completely together. It is looking pretty promising and full of great information. I've learned much about myself as a writer as my weaknesses and strenghts and also learned a lot about my community that I've thought I'd known the best. This project definately made me see my writing from outside the box and taking a different perpective.
In coclusion I had a great time spending most of my days in the place that I love and learning more about it. Not only did I gather great information and write a good amount of pages I can proudly say that I thoroughly enjoyed this project as a whole.

Putting It All Together

Writing an ethnography is a lot like putting a puzzle togther. You study the pieces, piece by piece and carefully rearrange them to make a final outstanding complete work of art. I've learned that even though having all the information written down, I am far from being done. I've taken all the pieces out of the box and studied them , but have yet to put the puzzle together. To complete my studies I must carefully manipulate all my information that I have gathered and revise and rearrange them into a masterpiece.
Once I have concluded all of this informtation together, my ethnography project will be completed by having all the necessary elements and getting rid of things that aren't needed. For my project I will organize all my information to make my paper flow easily and make it an easy read for the reader. Finally, by taking an idea and running with it makes all the difference and will make the paper that much better.
